I read about that in the press this morning, good article about it in the Guardian here: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2...eart-condition
Just found what I think is the paper here: http://link.springer.com/article/10..../fulltext.html See Table 1 - doesn't mention bicuspid aortic valve from what I can see, unless they're giving that a different name or comes under collagen genes ?

Thanks for this, Seaton! Always great to see new discoveries. For those of us who worry about developing aneurysms, this blood test may prove helpful. They have identified a group for 'aortopathy'. I wonder whether this will be readily available in North America, too?
